Menemerus is a genus of jumping spiders that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1868.[4] They are 4 to 10 millimetres (0.16 to 0.39 in) long, flattened in shape, and very hairy, usually with brown and grayish hairs. Most species have white edges on the thorax. The abdomen is often oval, or sometimes elongated or rounded.[5]
